In other news…Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture is finally here after taking 100 years to craft. According to early reports, the museum is amazing and presents an expansive look at the history and life of African Americans. A unique 3D interactive exhibit will emerge next year, a technological feat made possible from a $1 million grant from Google.org. Dr. Lonnie Bunch, the NMAAHC’s director, visited Google’s headquarters and lobbied for his vision. “I immediately knew I wanted to be involved, and pulled together people from across the company: designers who focus on user interaction, members of the Cultural Institute, engineers who work on everything from Google Maps to YouTube, and members of the Black Googler Network,” said Travis McPhail, Software Engineer, Google Maps, and Team Lead, Project Griot. “For the past year, we’ve been working to deliver on Dr. Bunch’s vision.” McPhail maintained that the interactive, virtual experience will allow people to view more than a typical museum, that is limited by space constraints. “With 3D scanning, 360 video, multiple screens and other technologies, visitors can see artifacts like a powder horn or handmade dish from all angles by rotating them with a mobile device,” he urged. The interactive exhibit opens in spring of 2017.
